Very good after regrinding.When I first got these chisels I had difficulty using them. Then I realized that the two small chisels had 40 deg bevels and the large one had a 34 deg bevel. I regrounded all to a 30 deg bevel (fingernail), and now have a set of chisels that are excellent for planing and contours on spindle work, at a very reasonable price. This also gave me a finer finish on the bevel than was on the original. My opinion is that non-traditional tools, such as these, should come with instructions relating to use and sharpening. For those who would like a primer on the use of this style of chisel, go to the Robert Sorby website and watch the instructional videos on their Spindlemaster. You can also view/print their printed instruction sheet.




HSS Ben. Best Versa ChiselsExcellent chisels and totally useful on the lathe. I have shared one of them with another woodturner and he expects to be getting a set for himself. And, the price was right!




Easy to useThese chisels are as advertised, good for the beginner. They act as a skew and scraper. My daughter is using them to make pens. The 1 inch'er needed sharpening out of the box but that is a minor issue.




Best Versa ChiselsI have received and used the versa chisels on small lathe projects. I use them to replace the skew chisel, I find these chisels to be more forgiving then the skew, easier to handle and less prone to accidental catches while turning, mostly I feel to the rounded edge design of the chisels. They perform well on both hard and soft wood. I especially like the smooth finish that I can achieve with these chisels verse the gouge.




Great set of toolsReceived the set as a gift and they are fantastic! Easy to use, nice balance and just the right 'feel' in my hands. I have used them for several hours before posting and I can't say enough good about them except that I wish I had bought them earlier, but since they were a gift, I cannot complain!




Love these toolsI have been wanting these tools for some time. I'm sorry now that I didn't get them sooner.




Work great!These are easier to work with than a chisel or gouge. They are great for planing and making gradual slopes on turning projects. I am cheating myself to some degree because I can accomplish much of the work of the chisel without having to learn how to use one.




If there ever was an all-purpose turning tool...This is a great set of tools with an excellent design. They work well as both a scraper and a skew for my uses. I have also used them to rough out pen blanks and they work well for that as well. They hold their edge as well as my Robert Sorby tools that I paid much more for each individual tool. I will be purchasing more of this tool brand in the future because of this.




The best choice for beginners...I read in the online instructions how these chisels were very forgiving about digging and catching. Since getting the set they are the only chisels I use. Ease of use, size width, handle length and ease of sharpening mark them as a real winner.
